= air pollutant concentration, in parts per million by volume mg/m 3 = milligrams of pollutant per cubic meter of air = atmospheric temperature in kelvins = 273.15 + °C 0.08205 = Universal Gas Law constant in atm·l/(mol·K) = molecular weight of the air pollutant (dimensionless)
mg/m 3 = milligrams of pollutant per cubic meter of air at sea level atmospheric pressure and T: ppmv = air pollutant concentration, in parts per million by volume T = ambient temperature in K = 273. + °C 0.082057338 = Universal gas constant in L atm mol −1 K −1: M = molecular mass (or molecular weight) of the air pollutant
Its units are in parts per million (ppm) for gases and in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m 3) for particulates such as dust, smoke and mist. The basic formula for converting between ppm and mg/m 3 for gases is ppm = (mg/m^3) * 24.45 / molecular weight. This formula is not applicable to airborne particles.
where TDS is expressed in mg/L and EC is the electrical conductivity in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 °C. The conversion factor k e varies between 0.55 and 0.8. [5] Some TDS meters use an electrical conductivity measurement to the ppm using the above formula. Regarding units, 1 ppm indicates 1 mg of dissolved solids per 1,000 g of water. [6]
Molar concentration or molarity is most commonly expressed in units of moles of solute per litre of solution. [1] For use in broader applications, it is defined as amount of substance of solute per unit volume of solution, or per unit volume available to the species, represented by lowercase : [2]
Fluorescein aqueous solutions, diluted from 10,000 to 1 parts-per-million in intervals of 10 fold dilution. At 1 ppm the solution is a very pale yellow. At 1 ppm the solution is a very pale yellow. As the concentration increases the colour becomes a more vibrant yellow, then orange, with the final 10,000 ppm a deep red colour.
A 1988 Canadian study of houses with urea-formaldehyde foam insulation found that formaldehyde levels as low as 0.046 ppm were positively correlated with eye and nasal irritation. [73] A 2009 review of studies has shown a strong association between exposure to formaldehyde and the development of childhood asthma .
mg/m 3 ppm 1 The concentration at which the general population will experience transient and reversible problems, such as notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic non-sensory effects. 0.52 0.17 2 The concentration that results in irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects or an impaired ability to escape. 1.6
